Chapter 428
Observation
It was tedious to say the dictionary terms for this word. However, it was quite interesting to see how the hunter community uses the word observation.
“… … I’m so tired. “The moment we recognized the other person, the other person recognized us.”
The moment Yura interpreted the words engraved on the wall, purple waves rippled throughout Delta Tower and Yura despaired.
“What do you mean by aware?”
“Among the bosses, there is one who hides his appearance. “When he finds the guy in the secretariat, he says [the observation was successful].”
Yura opened a barrier and trapped Shin Yuseong. She tried to send them to the base camp like the survivors she had saved earlier, but Shin Yu-seong did not move.
“My powers stopped working just now. “After the purple wave occurred, the coordinates became unreadable.”
“It’s not a simple barrier.”
Yura nodded with difficulty at Shin Yusung’s words. The warp used by Yura was a movement of space, not a movement of dimensions.
If you went up to the tower and moved between dimensions, you could move in the same dimension on that floor, but it was impossible to move straight to Earth.
“… … Look Carefully. Doesn’t this floor look different from before?”
Shin Yu-seong looked around at Yu-ra’s words. The situation was so sudden that I didn’t realize it, but the patterns carved on the wall were gone and the bizarre mannequin was gone.
Rather, this place felt more like an art museum with art on display than a department store.
“We were on the 4th floor. The art museum is on the 5th floor of Delta Tower. “Now that their true identity has been discovered, they won’t be sent back to me.”
“Then, senior. What is that shimmering light? That wasn’t mana.”
Moving a person to a desired location without mana was an absurd story based on the common sense that hunters had learned so far.
“That, I mean… … How should I explain this? okay. I can’t forgive you… … “Because I did something wrong.”
‘An unforgivable mistake?’
“I’ll explain everything.”
But Yura was different.
Yura was a gifted student who never missed the top spot in writing at the academy. Of course, out of over 10 written subjects, my favorite is studying ‘ancient languages’ and ‘legends’ of each dimension.
“… … You said you were a first year student, so it’s natural that you don’t know. “I’ve never seen a pervert like me crazy about this field, even among the graduating class.”
Yura took out a piece of chalk from somewhere. Like an analog walkie-talkie, it was a rare item in this day and age.
“Look Carefully.”
However, as if this was not the first time Yura had taught a colleague, he began to skillfully draw on an art object made of rock.
“The concept of mana as we know it is an explanation that is commonly used from a hunter’s perspective.”
Yura drew a line on the rock, depicting a hunter using mana.
“Most hunters use the mana within their bodies. Thanks to this, even without a catalyst to bind it, the release of power is achieved through one’s own will.”
The cute hunter drawn by Yura was shooting a water gun with [Mana] written on it at the monster.
“But what if I want to use external power beyond the mana I have?”
This time, the hunter drawn by Yura was looking at a leisurely flowing river with the word [Mana] written on it.
It was like a leader who had just established a civilization and was thinking about how to use the river water to benefit humans.
“Creating a catalyst that will guide mana in the desired direction… … . “Isn’t that what it is?”
Although it wasn’t the answer Yura wanted, Shin Yuseong’s answer was quite plausible.
“Yes, if there is a transformation organ like Dragon Heart or a similar artifact, that would be the answer.”
Yura drew an ordinary human without a water gun on a rock. He said that what made up the world was actually the majority of ordinary people who could not use mana.
“… … By the way. Usually people who do such annoying things either have artifacts or aren’t dragons. “I’m an ordinary person without a single drop of mana in my body.”
Yura drew with chalk again. Ordinary people built artificial walls and made rivers flow through desired paths.
“What is needed at that time is a ritual. “By creating rules and structures, we allow freely floating mana to flow in the desired direction.”
“Consciousness… … .”
“The problem is that that power is not only used for good purposes.”
Yura’s drawings became longer and longer and continued beyond the artwork. A huge flood engulfed the village. It was a cute drawing, but if it were real, it would be a terrible result.
“Actually, it’s the same in our world, right? There are many places where evil gods are worshiped. From the gods of disaster, the five ghosts, the gods of the underworld, to the first evil of Asterism, rituals using evil have never ceased.”
“So you’re saying that such a consciousness existed in another dimension as well?”
“huh. “Consciousness exerts a stronger power in a world where magic is developed than in a world where science is developed.”
Yura drew a picture.
Then, the sacrifices, curses, and rituals were grouped into a circle and placed on a common line.
“That dimension is not a world with city guards like ours, nor is it a chaotic world with no established security. … … “It’s a world where magic and power are everything.”
The more this happens, the more people cling to the power of consciousness to protect themselves or to take revenge.
“Sacrifices were sacrificed to protect the village, curses were made for revenge, and many other things that we cannot assume would have happened.”
“But there’s no law that says rituals can only be used for curses, right?”
“Yes, but a good ritual is at best a blessing. “There are so many different curse rituals.”
Yura drew a brave mercenary swinging his sword at the enemy general. But when we reach the circle of curses. He collapsed.
“Among the curses, there is a curse of old age that will eventually kill no matter how strong a person is.”
This time, an ordinary person walked down the street. But he never got to where he wanted to go. What caused him to be trapped was a terrible curse that repeated the same place infinitely.
“There are rituals for disappearing that banish the other person to another dimension forever, and there are rituals for ordering them to do so.”
Yura thought Shin Yusung was naive. The boy in front of him had no idea how ugly the human heart, steeped in malice, was.
“Do you think this is the end? How convenient is the curse ritual? In that world, consciousness is a history and culture that has been accumulated over thousands of years.”
Yura believed so.
I thought that humans are more accustomed to bad words than good ones and are more vulnerable to evil influences than good ones.
“Human power is amazing. In the end, they turned the goddess (Devi) into an evil deity. At least in that dimension, he is probably the strongest evil spirit. What great power it has… … . “I know that best.”
Shin Yu-seong felt something in Yu-ra’s bitter smile as she looked at him. The emotion on Yura’s face was not despair.
Rather, it was a feeling closer to regret or remorse.
“like… … You speak in a way that makes you feel like you saw it in person. Seniors?”
Yura stopped explaining and dropped the worn-out chalk. Then he grabbed Shin Yu-seong’s chin and pulled his face closer to his own. Focus has disappeared somewhere. Yura’s fascination had long since worn off.
“… … then. “I saw it.”

Yura’s faintly smiling eyes looked like a completely different person.
“I apologize in advance. “I’m really sorry for getting you involved too.”
Yu-ra suddenly apologized to Shin Yu-seong and took out a cigarette from her arms.
“I thought I hung up, but it’s a good thing I kept it.”
He then neatly lit a cigarette with mana and waved it in front of Shin Yu-seong’s eyes for emphasis.
“You should never smoke something like this.”
It seems that the reason Yura explained all this to Shin Yuseong was not to attack the boss.
“… … “At first it was curiosity.”
“Are you talking about cigarettes?”
“Foot, no, not that one.”
At first it was curiosity.
Yura was a student who loved ancient languages and legends, so she just wanted to follow the stories she read in books.
“Take out a book from the library and go up the stairs. When you step on the 13th step, close your eyes and count 13 seconds in your mind… … .”
Yura searched for memories. The story Yura told was like a well-written school ghost story.
However, the source of this story was not the academy Yura was attending. It was an old book from a different level, with no one even knowing who wrote it.
“Once you have counted 13 seconds, make a wish in your heart and go down the 14 steps with your eyes still closed… … .”
After finishing the story, Yura put a cigarette in his mouth. Then he took a breath of smoke and started gulping like crazy.
“Kek, kolok-! Cough! Ah, it’s been a while since I did this so I don’t receive it… … .”
“That story seems like an ordinary ghost story. “We heard a similar ghost story at Gaon.”
“yes. “It’s a story that can happen anywhere.”
Yura threw the cigarette she was smoking on the ground and smiled shyly.
“I only went up 13 stairs that day, but I actually went down 14 stairs. “Can you believe it?”
Yura smiled at Shin Yuseong.
“And when I opened my eyes.”
It didn’t matter whether Shin Yu-seong believed what he said or not. Yura had already finished putting her mind in order.
“I saw a woman covered in transparent lace. Half of her body is a skeleton, and half of her is so beautiful… … .”
Say your wish.
She said this to Yura:
Yura didn’t even think about what to achieve or what to wish for, so he simply answered.
[I want to become stronger.]
That’s how I woke up from the dream.
The place where Yura was lying was the bed in the nurse’s office. But after that day, Yura’s body overflowed with an unidentified power. Among her classmates, she became a level 6 hunter at the earliest age.
“… … I always had an uneasy feeling. But today I found out that now is the time to pay for meeting her.”
Yura, who had already given up on everything, sighed.
“You said you had a friend, right?”
“yes.”
Shin Yu-seong was curious about what Yu-ra was trying to say. I was curious about what my senior, a veteran and active hunter, would say to me.
“… … you stay here “I’ll go upstairs alone.”
However, what came out of Yura’s mouth was none other than a declaration of giving up.
